The only downside of these high capacity batteries I can see is the long recharge times and obviously the limited draw from them with the USB converter on them. I'm actually interested in it as a portable way of charging my iPad... Anyway... at least with my eneloops I can charge them relatively quickly... but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in having some new shiny to play with

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1503309204' post='3356997'] As above really there used to be some really funny people on the forum and you could always crack a joke but now some people seem so grumpy and just seem to want a row sign of the times? OK rant over lol [/quote] Indeed - I think the PC camp took over and everybody seems to get offended over the most trivial things.

When you are on battery power, isolated power supplies is a bit pointless.

[quote name='StuartCrawl' timestamp='1503219272' post='3356457'] I'm on the verge of ordering one of these as my band are starting to play bigger stages occasionally, and I think it would help me move about a bit more without the fear of standing on my lead. The only problem is I can't find confirmation anywhere that the tuner is ok with the low B on my 5 strings. Can anybody help? Cheers. [/quote] Its fine. Great piece of gear.

Interesting... So something like [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XVTJKCQ"]https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00XVTJKCQ[/url] and this [url="https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/192052264107?chn=ps&dispItem=1&adgroupid=41767405657&rlsatarget=pla-327666147269&abcId=1129006&adtype=pla&merchantid=113417885&poi=&googleloc=9045438&device=c&campaignid=861364981&crdt=0"]https://www.ebay.co....61364981&crdt=0[/url] ? Thats one cool looking solution! I like a lot! If I understand correctly, the on above will supply 3.4A... that would cater for most digital boards pretty easily! Obvs, you'd probably need to convert the polarity on the plug... but thats no bother in the grand scheme of things... EDIT: Now we are talking - [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B012V9H3WA?psc=1"]https://www.amazon.c...012V9H3WA?psc=1[/url]

[quote name='No. 8 Wire' timestamp='1503065941' post='3355478'] Also made my own, about £25 and 3 X as much energy storage as the mooer one. Mix of Amazon and eBay parts (only 3 parts). Not sure how many pedals it will power at once though, 5 so far is ok. [/quote] With the Pros, my Enveloop solution is 2500mAh. I guess there's nothing stopping you running multiple units across a number of pedals or wiring multiple packs in parallel. Would be interested in knowing what your setup is comprised of...? Anyway... It's not just about how many pedals that your batteries can power... its about how long your power source can operate them for. You may find this interesting... [url="http://stinkfoot.se/power-list"]http://stinkfoot.se/power-list[/url] Basically, you can keep adding pedals, in my case, up to the point of 2500mA (possibly up to 3000mA) ... (beyond that the pedals will be drawing more power than the power supply can physically supply) and it will power them for an hour (based on 2500mA). If you have 1250mA draw, you can power them for 2 hours... 625mA will be 4 hours... and so on. So for most analogue pedals, you can power them for ages... If you start lobbing on Strymons and other digital pedals, you are soon eating into the amount of time you can sustain the draw of power. In reality, if you have a digital laden pedal board, you are likely still going to be able to a couple of sets worth as long as you remember to turn the power on and off between playing. In short, 2500mAh / pedal draw in mA = playing time.. (but most of you could probably figure that one out)

My eBay home-brew has a switch!

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1502952833' post='3354548'] It looks lovely How much does it weigh? Would it help with neck dive? [/quote] I've never weighed it - but its certainly not heavy enough to make an impact on neck dive.

Made my own.

Just reverse the polarity on the attached cable.

[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1502500883' post='3351897'] I would love to try two 8x10s stacked horizontally with a big valve amp. [/quote] Whenever I think about horizontal 8x10s, Nicky Wire (Manic SP) comes to mind... 4x horizontal 8x10s

I never posted the complete thing... here it is... This has been on for a while though - and hasn't been cleaned for a while... so the mirror effect isn't as pronounced as it could be!

Can you explain the modified to handle both 4 and 8 ohms bit?

I forsee this to be another Chunk Systems synth pedal fiasco. Massive hype and when the thing lands, it's ultimately very disappointing. To be honest, I think I would have lost interest by now and spent my money elsewhere. Maybe when the 500w version lands (ha) I may reignite what little interest I have left.

mrtcat - how you getting on since getting your ue900s into customs?

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1502465969' post='3351708'] Tims stuff is a photo image on clear acrylic, so not an actual chrome over brass plate...it just looks like that from a distance. Hope this helps. [/quote] I was going to say, there are very, very few people doing full on brass with chrome plating in the pick guard world.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1502396513' post='3351236'] Pm timal he's a member here and makes them to order is website is originalscratchplates. Com I think [/quote] Does he do chrome on a brass plate? If so, could have save me a load of trouble!

[quote name='steviedee' timestamp='1501582258' post='3345619'] Hi folks and apologies for being lazy but this is a monster thread! I just bought a pair of Ultimate ear Triple Fi 10s, the drummer in my band had his re-shelled in Florida by [url="https://www.inearz.com"]https://www.inearz.com[/url] and they have done an awesome job, I was thinking of using them. I reckon there should be no duty as it's a repair (maybe). But is there anyone in the UK who you would recommend to re-shell? Thanks! [/quote] They would be liable for duty because they are a modification - not a repair from the manufacturer. custom inearmonitors use inearz for their reshells.

Check my build - http://basschat.co.uk/topic/297528-chrome-scratchplate/ If there was enough interest and money up front, it may be possible to do a run for P fans...

Is it a multitrack wav?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1502042446' post='3348932'] You don't need the whole mountain of them though! [/quote] My aim is to have one rig in each room of my house...

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1501603886' post='3345861'] Ha ha - yes and he doesn't even use them live anymore! [/quote] Only when theres no IEM option available to me!

Billy Ocean has still got it. If you ever get the chance to see him, I urge everybody to make the effort - his band is superb and his voice is incredible - he can still hit all the notes and you will not hear him off key all night.

I sold mine after it burnt my wrist.
